Weeks 16, 17 & 18

Time for an update on this ever-growing belly of mine.

Ok, I'm going to be honest...I don't really have a whole lot to update you on...but here are a few little things that have been happening in week 16, 17 & 18:

-Still feeling pretty good. Some days I still feel extremely tired and would rather sleep all day rather than go to work.

-Leg cramps!! Waking me up in the middle of the night. I thought this was random, but I guess it is a fairly common symptom. (So my What to Expect App tells me...)

-Speaking of night time...I have been having such a hard time sleeping (besides the insane heat!!) I can constantly feel my abdominal muscles stretching and pulling. So on top of feeling bloated all the time, I can literally feel myself ballooning. Great.

-Movement!! I started feeling teeny tiny movements and kicks last week! This is so exciting because it just reassures me that there actually is something growing in there.

-My 1st Ultrasound is next week and I am SO excited! (And not just because I had a very horrifying/vivid dream I had twins...haha) I can't wait to be able see my baby! 



Sorry for the crappier than usual quality...this was taken on my phone.

Still wearing my regular jeans...with the help of a belly band
(Which I would highly recommend)

Almost halfway!! Crazy!!

*Today I was able to peek in on a C-Section at work and got to see a little baby enter this world! Melted my heart!  I can't wait till it is my turn to hear & hold my baby for the first time. What a miracle.
